Hey guys what is NT scan... My doctor suggested me to go for it in the next visit... Experienced ladies please help...

The nuchal translucency scan is a test done during the 12-13th week. It is an ultrasound to measure the thickness of the fluid;buildup at the back of the developing baby's neck. If this area is thicker than normal, it can be an early sign of Down syndrome, trisomy 18, or heart problems.
